Why The Livyatan Terrified The Entire Ocean

In this video we explore the full story of Livyatan melvillei — the largest non-tusk teeth of any animal ever recorded, the spermaceti organ it shared with the modern sperm whale, the Miocene ocean it ruled alongside Megalodon, the hunting system that made it the most dangerous air breathing predator in the history of the ocean, and the cooling world that ended it. We also cover the Essex, Herman Melville, and what the modern sperm whale still carries in its body from something that lived thirteen million years ago.
